PLOTTING WOES

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by C T Litchfield, Sep 30, 2003.

  1. I have a plotting configuration problem. I can not create a plot file for
    the plotter at the service bureau. The one that is created has bizarre page
    sizes. This is only seen by the printer when they are plotting on their Oce
    9800. My work-around is to copy the files onto the old system and plot from
    there. The old system works fine but will be replaced by a new machine.

    The applications I use are ADT R2 & LDT R2 (AutoCAD 2K)

    old OS = Win98se
    new OS = Win2Kpro

    How do I configure my plotters to work properly on Windows 2000 pro for
    these two applications?

    Depends very much on what driver you operate.
    Best results come out if you configure a plotter like the HP750 to create
    the plotfiles for the OCE machine.
    It is known that the OCE needs to translate the plotfiles to its own system,
    it therefore needs some kind of compatible file, even new files like the
    HP1050 won't work.
    So, inhouse we use HP1050 files for our own plotter, extern files are HP750.
    Problem solved.

    Hope it puts you on the right track, if not, try the
    autodesk.autocad.print-plot newsgroup and ask to Govert Knopper.
